| Who out there knows about Audio Research Pre's??? I own the LS25 MKI. With NOS 6H23 tubes (6922) it easily out performs the LS25 MKII. It is a very musical preamp. I am very satisfied with its performance compared to some very expensive preamps that I have auditioned in my system. | |
| Power cord and Sony SCD-1 I own the SCD-1. I have tried both the ELrod EPS-2 and the NBS Monitor II with excellent results.I don't know what Rcrump is talking about. My SCD-1 works fine with the standard power cord configuration. | |
| ARC LS25 MK1 Trouble-Shooting I agree with Bobgates.You can isolate the tube by swithing the tubes from L to R channel.george | |
| Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ???? Zenieth: Congratulations. I am happy that you used your own ears to make your purchasing decision. Ultimately, that is what matters. As you can see from this forum, opinions are "dime-a-dozen". When properly integrated with the maggies, you will h... | |
| Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ???? I agree with Phasecorrect that there is some element of snobbery towards the Sunfire products by some in the so-called "high-end" community. I have a good friend who works for a top high-end store in NYC. He laughed at me when I told him that I ha... | |
| Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ???? I am currently using a stereo pair of The Sunfire Signature sub with my MG 3.5/R with excellent results. Properly configured and positioned Sunfire Signatures are very musical, extended with excellent definition and articulation. I found the Sunfi... | |
| Sunfire Subwoofer Installation help needed Hello Zeneith:Congrats on your purchase of an excellent sub.The Sunfire subs are best away from room boundaries. Try to keep it away from corners. Try the sub midway between your MG 1.6 speakers, either in the same plane or behind.Try not to turn ... | |
| Which Sunfire Sub for my Magnepan 1.6's I would recommend the Sunfire Signature subwoofer.Contrary to the negative propaganda, properly configured Sunfire Signature subs are very musical. I am using a stereo pair with MG 3.5/R with excellent results. The blend is seamless. The bass is f... | |
| Best N.O.S. Tubes for Audio Research LS 25 MK1 I am using 6H23 NOS 6922 tubes from Upscale Audio on my ARC LS25 MKI. Results are spectacular. | |
| Kenwood KD-500 I had the KD-500/with AT 605 footers; with Black Widow Arm/Signet Cart. Preamp was the Conrad Johnson PV2 and an ARC D76A driving a Magnepan MG 2A (circa 1978-82). Great memories of my first high-end system. Ibought the KD-500 plus arm and D76A fr... | |
| Magnepan 20.1 vs MG 3.5/stereo subwoofers? Hello Tireguy:If I purchase the 20.1, I would probably still try the dual subs. The Sunfire Signatures are flat to 16Hz. However the lowest crossover setting would be 30Hz, which is higher than the 25Hz 3dB point of the 20.1. I think the subs coul... | |
| ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE Gladstone: Are you sugesting that the Manley gear has no "Flaws"?. The ARC REF phono and preamp are excellent performers. Of course, results will vary depending on personal preference and the associated equipment and room. | |
| ARC LS 25MKl vs LS 25MKll....????? Foreverhifi;You are quite misinformed. I upgraded from an ARC LS2B MKI to a MKII and found the improvements significant in musical terms. The MKII was less mechanical sounding, more transparent and refined with enhanced musicality. Also, I suppose... | |
| Need Preamp Advice ARC VT100 mk2 I am using a VT100 MKII with ARC PH2 and LS25 MKI (with NOS 6H23 tubes). This is an excellent combination. Very musically satisfying. I can just focus on the music, which is main objective of this hobby. I have no intention of replacing any of the... | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? I think that you can drive the maggies up to the 3.6 (excluding the 20.1) with a good 100 watt tube amp with high output current such as the ARC VT100 MKII. I have been using maggies exclusively since 1977. Initially, my first high end speaker was... |
